Joe Girardi not returning as Yankees manager

Yankees general manager Brian Cashman's contract is up, too, but it's expected that the will return to see through the team's rapid rebuild that started at the 2016 trade deadline.

NY won the next three games to advance, lost the first two games of the ALCS at Houston, then won three in a row to move within a victory of reaching the World Series for the first time in eight years.

Girardi is from East Peoria and was a former play for both the Chicago Cubs and the St. Louis Cardinals.

Girardi managed the then-Florida Marlins for one year before taking over with the Yankees in 2008. "Everything this organization does is done with careful and thorough consideration, and we've chose to pursue alternatives for the managerial position".

Girardi won a 2009 World Series with the Yankees but before this season hadn't reached a playoff series since 2012.

"I would like to thank the players for the relationships that we have fostered over the last 10 years but most important, how hard they played every day".

Girardi, in a separate statement, said that he appreciated the organization having given him the opportunity to lead the team for the last decade. "He should take great pride in our accomplishments during his tenure, and I wish Joe and his family nothing but success and happiness in the future". Girardi took over for Joe Torre after the 2007 season.
